CHECK OUT THE WORLDWIDE IMPACTS FROM THE EARTHQUAKE IN CHILE



Here is an incredible video called "The Home Project." This YouTube video focuses on how humans have impacted Earth.

Here is a description of what the purpose of the video is:
"We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet."
-Yann Arthus-Bertrand
